Yong Heng Auto stop?

I have one and like it. Real simple, just turn it to where you want it to shut off. Mine at 3,000 psi We fill 3 guns with it and all say about the same so the guage works. I think it makes it nice because you don't have to watch anything just turn it on and about a minute or so later it shuts off. Doubt this is much help but I think you'll like the shut off part.

I saw some videos about warning not to use auto stop because it would stop with very high pressure in the cylinders so I have not used the auto stop feature at all. Recommended “best practice” is to open the bleeder valves for a few seconds and then turn off the compressor which also purges some of the moisture trapped in there. Haven’t have any issues for a year now so I’ll just keep doing that. Also had some minor leaks and fixed them by just tighten the nuts and bolts that caused the leak. Best money spent on airgun accessories along with the tank for sure. 
 
The "Auto Stop" version stops itself at some unknown pressure around 3000psi probly plus or minus a hundred or two psi. The pressure it stops at is non adjustable. So you likely don't want that version. Although I would expect it would not be that difficult to wire around that unit so it functions as the "Hardcopy/Hardcover" version which you shut down manually at the pressure you desire up to 4350psi.

The "Simple" version does not have a water separator so you definitely do not want that version either. Although a few have added the Cyclone Water Separator unit that comes standard on the other units to correct that problem.

The "Set Pressure" version has a switch on the dial of the gauge that allows you to set the the pressure you want the unit to shut down at. These gauges are not all that good and need to be replaced at least once a year in my case.

Here is my standard post to all things Yong Heng hope it is helpful.

The Yong Heng "Simple" version least expensive does not have a water separator you need one.

The "Auto Stop" version shuts off near 3000psi probly not a good thing for most people.

So you likely want the "Hardcover" or "Set Pressure" versions your choice on the 110V or 220V.

Keep them cool and filled with oil. ISO 46 may no longer be recommended although I used it for a year without failure. I am currently using the Husky Brand Synthetic or synthetic blend oil, found at Home Depot, for two years now without a problem. Top it off to the red circle in the sight glass. 

Don't push your air fill past the compressor’s spec which is 4350psi. A little less is usually better than the max, and the Yong Heng should last for years unless you get a bad one. I did my first oil change at about an hour, it was extremely dark colored. I went far longer, between changes, after that.

I have two YH compressors bought the second as a backup for the first as I, fergot to turn on the coolant pump several times and, overheated it until it smoked. It did not like it but it runs fine. Still I did not trust it after that. I added a switched outlet, to the system, so it turns the pump on before the compressor will power up to keep me from doing that from now on.

The second one, my back up unit, died in about two months bad QC from the factory. Cost me $12 for a new second stage piston and an hours’ time to replace it. Then to add insult to injury I fergot to put oil in, the latest unit after I put it back together, and ran it for a couple of minutes without any. So I filled it with oil and it fired up and somehow still werqs fine. The #1 unit that I was worried about, cuz I overheated it so many times, just kept on filling my guns and tanks till I got #2 repaired and retired it.

I do not fill past 4200psi as when I do, all too often, I blow a burst disc. This may not happen on the first or second fill but soon thereafter it will.

The temperature sensor only measures head temperature so running it much over 20-30 minutes can overheat the motor and other parts even if ice is used in the coolant. Ice or a container of it, in the coolant, is a good idea especially if you are like me and do not use the full five gallons of water as suggested in the manual.

Keep your water supply level with the compressor to be kind to the pump and assure a good supply of coolant goes through the compressor.

I recently started using this Red Line water treatment after I noticed algae growth in my 2.5 gallon water bucket every few months. It seems to have stopped the algae growth problem.

Keep your moisture filters, guns and tanks being filled above the compressor to help keep the moisture out.

Purge the system of moisture, using the screw valves on both sides of the compressor, for a couple of seconds every five minutes while in use.

Change out your small YH filter every twenty minutes and set the old one out to dry and use later.

Add a better filter if needed to be sure more moisture and any oil smell is removed from the system. Many of us use this Tuxing three media filter although, if you feel the need, you can change media types at any time.

A smaller one will probly do for some.

Possibly a filter similar to this if humidity is high in your area and your desiccant filters have to be replaced often.

Bleed the pressure before you turn the unit off and let it run a few seconds to get the better part of the moisture out of the system. I have found that I blow less burst discs if I bleed before shutting down so I do this religiously.

Let the coolant pump run for a few minutes after shutdown to cool things off.
